The pain behind poverty...can only be felt from the

heart...This very picture is very close to my heart...I took

this photographs on the streets of a slum in Kolkata...I

can still remember that particular frame as it gives me

pain every single time as i look through this picture...We

should always consider doing something for these very

children so that they can get the least...that they

deserve...

and once someone falls in love with it..There

is no going back.. As the poem goes..." A thing


of beauty...is a joy forever ..."

amusing that how their lifestyle is not


triggered by anything they see every day..The

hard meditation makes it so i guess...

I am Arindam Mallick, a Mechanical Engineer by profession. I grew up in a small town,

located in the eastern part of India, Kolkata, West Bengal, India also known as


Calcutta, I was born & settled in West Bengal with my family. Being the youngest

child the skill of observation came to me naturally. - elders, acquaintances, I have

travelled many places for photography which is my passion but not my profession.

The Birds have always been my favourite subject for photography. To me there is

nothing called "perfection" in any photography, every click to me is an experience,

the more I click the more I learn something new. I give more importance to quality

than clicking pictures in quantity. I love nature and I can never be bored by staying in

nature for long, photography to me is a combination of my love for nature, travel,

practice, patience, passion, care, friends and gear; more than anything else, it is a


blessing of my creator to be able to witness the special moments in nature.

I am debjit mukherjee.i am 25 years old and I live at Kandi, Murshidabad. I completed

my graduation in 2018 in Geography. Now I am pursuing masters degree in


education . My hobby is photography.i think photography is my first love. I can't live

without my hobby ❤️. For me Photography allows me to create images of special

events, times, and places. It lets me record the specifics of an event – and it also


allows me to share that event with friends and family, long after it’s done and gone.

By capturing a special moment in time, i can always remember it in crisp detail, even

as my mental memories begin to fade. Plus, those memories will eventually become


part of my history, perhaps even family lore.

Hi I'm Kuldeep Singh. I am a Street Photographer based in Faridabad, Haryana

(India). I have loved photography since i was a teenager. After several years of private


sector job, I started my photography journey when I was diagnosed with blood

cancer in 2016.This was the turning point in my life, I joined photography along with

my treatment and my Bone Marrow Transplant was successful in 2018 and After that

I took photography professionally. Photographs play an important role in everyone's


life - they connect us to our past, they remind us of people, places, feelings, and

stories. They can help us to know who we are. Personally, it changed my life to see

different perspectives from colours to black & white, from angles to dimensions. I'm


dedicated to developing my art until I reach the pinnacle of my craft.

MANAS DAS

XEMANIA 2022 PARTICIPANT

MANAS DAS

I am a Delhi based photographer who also works an Architect by profession. I would

rather like to call myself as a self taught photography enthusiast, searching for peace
through travelling all over the India and freezing the moments. I was born in a family


where I used to see everyone has a knack for photography, including my father

himslef. So as a kid I used to be handed over with a camera to click family pictures
during tours. That's where I took my hands on a Kodak 35mm reel camera. Later my

father upgraded the gear with a Canon point and shoot digital camera. After some

years, when I admitted to the college for higher education; I saw an advanced DSLR

for the first time owned by one of my friends. We used to share our knowledge and

enthusiasm on photography and one day he trusted me to use his camera to click

photos. That was the moment I realized that I need my own camera right now. Next


year I was gifted with a Nikon crop sensor DSLR and started my journey as a

photographer. After the completion of my bachelor's degree, I got a job and shifted

to Delhi. As this city is one of the main gateway to the Himalayan hillstations, I started


travelling to mountains quite regularly and grew interest on landscape and
astrophotography. Soon I upgraded myself with a Nikon full-frame DSLR and found


my niche in travel-landscape and wide-field astrophotography. Since then I have

been travelling remote and hidden places in Himachal, Uttarakhand and Ladakh


while clicking pictures of exquisite landscape and beautiful night skies.

The Indian Gaur is one of the

strongest mammals in our country.

It even holds the power to toss an

adult tiger in the air with its head.

Emphasizing at the core of its

strength - the head and the horns

If I was told to express my

imagination in an art, it would be

like this more or less - A pure soul,


flying over a vibrant canvas of

freshness, ruling over the whole


forest.

An unconditional and unexplainable

love of a mother towards her child

is something worth feeling every

day. A Grey Langur mother guarding

her child with all her warmth. The

baby, not more than 2 months of

age , innocent and curious kept

looking at me, filling my frame with

purity!

THE PRIMITIVE HANDS

The hairy limbs that denote the earlier days while the homo sapiens was out of the story. The fact that later on

human evolution and monkeys took divergent routes from the track of primate hierarchy, was unable to separate

many physical similarities between us and them. The palms, resting on another, free of all unproductive thoughts

is more just a relaxation you want on a Sunday afternoon! The rough textures, highlighted by the nature, covered


with furs and a nail lining most similar to the human nails was one fact that every photographer would love to

study and watch.
